Point. Though, really, DNG on the K20D is 329 DNG files to the 8 GB SD card. 8 GB cards are well under 30 CAD per these days. (Yeah, I buy no-name from small computer shops on College St., but never mind; the point is that an 8 GB card is not expensive.) I've managed to fill two 8 GB cards precisely once; my brain gives out around 600 exposures, as a general rule. To get to a difference between DNG and PEF storage that adds up to a single 8 GB SD card, you need to take a thousand shots or more on each photographic outing. This does not strike me as an operative difference; maybe I don't take very many shots, I don't know. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
